@CheanTengsai22 look, there are nokias from the early days of iphone that could get run over by a car and still work. All that would need to be replaced was the shell. You may think iphone is elite but the thing is, other manufacturers put out better hardware for lower prices and... lets put it this way, there's a problem when most of the people I encounter with iphones have broken screens... for the longest time Apple tried to stop 3rd party repair. There are channels on here where all people do is fix iphones that people were told by Apple were "impossible to repair,".
This was actually my first iPod that wasn't a hand-me-down. I loved it, and since I shared a cellphone with my siblings at the time, I was able to still enjoy music & videos. I miss it, tbh
@@fog10101 man, I miss fry's. Would go in there when I was younger and just gawk at all of the cool stuff they had, but then they started having less and less, then it was no more.
In an age where more media is tied to streaming services and not to our personal ownership, the iPod Nano was always an oddly comforting device for me, knowing that my hundreds of songs would stay on there forever.
@@ludibriousdoctor8278I wish it could play over Bluetooth, though… feels like that could be possible by just attaching a standard 3.5mm cable to the headphone jack and instant antenna. I’ve also had some issues with this when using noise-reduction headphones… then again, that probably didn’t exist at the time.
this was my first apple device as a kid. used to listen to disney soundtracks and play around in the settings (my parents didn’t let me have games). i remember i was DEVASTATED after losing it on a summer vacation.
I use this iPod daily, it’s fun to have all my favorite audiobooks podcasts and songs available to me while I study without the distraction of my phone, plus with lightning and Bluetooth what more could I want!
@@buenogoodlive I am aware that it doesn’t take calls, but I find the idea of pulling out a small device the side of a nail clipper to watch a movie comical, and phone is a word I feel would exaggerate the amount of features, thus making it seem more impressive/comical
I know this is almost a year late but they actually did do a refresh of the iPod nano, shuffle, and touch all in 2015. Mainly being new color ways to match apples design from that time period. I think he’s just referring the specific one that he has which IS from 2015.
I loved my seventh-gen iPod Nano, and I was so sad when I lost it in June 2022. :( The seventh-gen Nano is such a sleek, focused, convenient device. I also had a sixth-gen iPod Nano, which I wore as a watch and was honestly one of the best things I ever bought. Sadly, these Nanos often have their on-off buttons wear out.
This one and the iPod Nano 6th gen are some of my favorite iPods. They’re also some of the most obscure and different ones of all the iPods, but I think that’s why I love them.
I had an older gen iPod nano, for a long long time; eventually Apple had a recall on it for battery issues. They swapped mine out for one of these models. I was super excited. It’s awesome. Still works to this day and on idle it can retain a full charge several months.
This was also like my 4th iPod. I remember the first generation of iPod came out when I was in college. My favorite design though is the one with the camera built in
Had one for 7 years now and recently got a product red because mine was starting to die on me. Fenominal device. I love that i dont need to waste my phones battery to listem to my music collection.
@@zacharystainesnever had one but I'd be down to get one if they released a new model. Thing is compact and practical, I don't need a big phone since I don't play on it (PC gamers rise up)
@@Chronoxile I have an iPod classic 5th gen which I still use on long rides. I play some games on my phone, so when it runs out of battery, I boot up RockBox on the iPod and play some Gameboy games.
I still use mine to this day. Though it doesn’t do some simple things that other iPods did (like browse through an an album or an entire artist library through the song menu), it might be the best iPod Apple ever did.
I still use mine all the time at the gym, well when I go anyway. I don't like having my bulky phone on me but I certainly don't record myself working out. It's just the right size to allow me to listen to my music
I got my Nano after I started owning iPhones. With all my other stuff on it, my iPhone couldn’t contain my entire music library. So I got an iPod nano that could. I just dusted it off yesterday so I could listen to my own music at work while my phone streams a playlist for the lobby speakers
To be fair the 2.5 inch screen was far more portable than an iPhone, had they updated it with Wi-Fi capability like an iPod Touch, it might have still made sense to keep around.
I still have a brand new product red unopened sitting in my closet. Bought it for my mother when it came out but she never got to use it. I had one myself but the screen is cracked a bit. I loved this thing I thought I was living in the future lmao!
I bought myself a 2nd hand one of these off of eBay, it was a lot cheaper than a new one but came with the box, earbuds and everything. The only issue? The screen had a few lines of dead pixels. Other than that? It was a solid 16GB nano. I’ve been more than happy using it. Edit: Misremembered storage
@@zacharystainesNot an update though because the 7th gen was released in 2012, making it from 2012 not 2015. Doesn’t matter if a new colour got added, does that mean the iPhone 13 was released in 2022 instead of 2021 because it got a green colour update?
I miss the first I iPhone I got where I can rotate my music library and see the album while u sliding it and it looks pretty cool the ones doesn’t rotate and do that no more
I still have mine in the drawer lol. I loved it, but loved the gen previous to it a lot more with the integrated clip... I used it exclusively for going on walks/jogs/runs... I ended up getting a clip attachment for the 7th gen one.
I grew up with a 4th Gen iPod nano (which I still have!) but I always lusted after this and the 6th gen. I'd absolutely lose my mind whenever I got to play with them at a store display, and absolutely BEGGED my grandparents for one. Honestly, if they let me copy songs from Apple Music to one of these, I would be willing to pay $300+ to have a separate device with all my music saved locally, not taking up storage or battery on my phone.
I still own it still use it till date❤ I also still own my first generation iPod touch and 8th generation iPod touch they work fine except the battery runs out within 30 minutes😊
I wish they never killed ipods. I would love to buy another ipod as my main apple product to use st home since i cureently dsily an s22ultra and an ipad at home but sometomes want a smaller apple product. Ik i could buy a used one but i just want them to come out and surprise us with a new ipod touch honestly
This was my first apple device and I loved it so. it was so awesome to have music and bluetooth headphones, but I did always wish that it could connect to the internet. wish I still had it.
In 2016, we announced we were expecting a baby with a photo of my iPhone 7 max, my wife’s iPhone 7, and this nano with the ultra scan taped to the screen. The caption was “who cares about iPhone 8…. We got your next generation right here.”
